So, I'm currently a high school senior and I've been reading the threads here (especially the recruitment stories) and now I'm kind of freaked out about the whole rush process. I will be attended a medium-sized southern univeristy in the fall that has a fairly large greek system. I've looked at all of the sorority websites and they all seem like great organizations. I could seriously be happy at any of them. One of the philanthropies really hits home with me. But I am definately keeping an open mind throughout this whole process.
My main concern is that I dont know anyone to get a recommendation letter from. My mom used to be in a sorority, but she had to drop out of college to due some circumstances. (She went back to college though
) But I'm not sure if I want to be known as a legacy (if I am even one) because I dont want other organizations to think I would definately pref this one sorority when I may not fit in with them at all.
Also, there is a sorority that will be colonizing this fall at my campus. How does that process work (in a nutshell)? If I dont get a bid from a sorority, could I join this one new sorority?
Reading the recruitment stories has really scared me. I have read more stories that ended with the rushee eventually dropping out than with the rushee actually getting a bid. I know it varies school to school, but what percent of rushees actually get a bid?
Cheers,
CB
